Home from Camp Good Grief

Top and bottom picture are Sunday....Alex and Gabe waiting outside the cabin for Peter and me to arrive for the picture presentation of the weekend!

With lots of good memories and experiences, the kids came home today from Camp! They both ate a bug.....and received badges for it!

Alex walking through a field to go to the memorial tree planting ceremony which closes out the weekend. I LOVE seeing the leaves on the ground....fall is already in the air! Below is a distant view of the lake at Camp Potawatami. Such a beautiful day....cool enough and warm enough to be perfect!

Above is the main hall/dining area where they ate their meals....called to meals with, of course, the traditional bell on a pole. Below are the various stuffed animal heads in the Dining Hall which Gabe was so excited to show to Peter and me.

And here's a picture of Gabe....in the dining hall!

Chillaxin' on the porch of the Dining Hall....beautiful Adirondack chairs!

Peter admiring the view of the lake from the porch of the Dining Hall.

The picture directly above is the firepit where the kids held their candle ceremony to commemorate their deceased loved one.

Saying good bye to Camp until next year....actually, for Alex, until next month when she'll return with her fellow 5th graders for another weekend camp.

You are The Moon

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
